Nice size room and bathroom area, great common spaces too with kitchen, lounge and cleaning facilities. The staff was great and very friendly. In the area there is a bunch of izakayas(bars with food and drinks), but the hostel is in a more calm street, so no problems with noise. I have no complaints about it. Great place and easy to acess via metro, book early and enjoy.

It was super peaceful and clean. The facilities (Common, toilet, bath) were all clean and nice, and the staff was very kind. The location was perfect, being quiet and chill, but with a short walking distance from Asakusa station and city-life. We definitely got all our moneys worth, and then some. We would 100% recommend if you want a city-trip to Tokyo, where you can still relax at the end of the day.

I had an incredible stay at Tora Hostel in Asakusa, Tokyo. This charming and clean hostel is perfectly located just minutes from Asakusa Station, providing easy access without being in the main tourist area. Honjo-Azumabashi Station nearby offers a direct train to Narita Airport, but check the schedules as not all trains stop there. The relaxed, quiet, and respectful atmosphere, along with a simple yet adequate workspace, made for a comfortable stay. The exceptional staff, including the always-smiling manager and Sam at the front desk, made me feel like I was staying with friends, offering invaluable tips and assistance. The well-thought-out room layout and large lockers ensured a peaceful and secure stay. I highly recommend Tora Hostel to anyone visiting Asakusa, whether for a short or long stay—you won’t be disappointed!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The hostel is in a great location in Shinjuku. It is close to the Golden Gai area if you plan on going out at night. The beds were comfortable with a curtain. Under the bunk beds, there is an area/locker for each person to store their belongings. The room has AC. The bathrooms were clean and the showers are hot. The staff were helpful and friendly. I would stay here again.

Everything, I have lived in hostels of several other countries but this was the best hostel. It’s cheap, near to attractions, bus stops nearby, trains to airport and Ginza line were about 10-minute walk. Even after checking out you could leave your luggage for few hours and use the first floor facilities.

Friendly staff, welcoming inclusive atmospheres, Great location (5 min away from Sensoji temple, a bit far from the station, about 10min. But the scenery of the area is so unique and I enjoyed walking. I felt safe to walk back to the hostel from the station midnight by myself, and the local people there are really kind). I stayed in a dormitory room, everyone was kind and thoughtful ( quiet at night). Stayed there for 4 nights and I had a good time there! I also liked the electric piano at the entrance.
